Pitching by Jon Lester, Inspiration by Tom Waits

Well, there’s one thing you can’t lose, it’s that feelYour pants, your shirt, your shoes, but not that feelYou can throw it out in the rain, you can whip it like a dogYou can chop it down like an old dead treeYou can always see it, when you’re comin’ into townOnce you hang it on the wall, you can never take it down

But there’s one thing you can’t lose, and it’s that feelYou can pawn your watch and chain, but not that feelIt always comes and finds you, it will always hear you cryI cross my wooden leg, and I swear on my glass eyeIt will never leave you high and dry, never leave you looseIt’s harder to get rid of than tattoos

But there’s one thing you can’t lose, and it’s that feelThere’s one thing you can’t lose, it is that feelYou can throw it off a bridge, you can lose it in a fireYou can leave it at the altar, it will make you out a liarYou can fall down in the street, you can leave it in the lurchWell, you say that it’s gospel, but I know that it’s only a church

But there’s one thing you can’t lose, and it’s that feelYes, there’s one thing you can’t lose, and it’s that feelThere’s one thing you can’t lose, and it’s that feelAnd there’s one thing you can’t lose, and it’s that feel

Waits and Keith Richards, to be precise. Either way, have at ’em, Jonny Boy.
